That's true, I hadn't thought of that. So then it sounds like the thing to do is
make venv a package and have the code in venv/__init__.py, then have the scripts
in a 'scripts' subdirectory below that. The API would then change to take the
absolute pathname of the scripts directory to install from, right?
